DESCRIPTION
       The QChar class provides a lightweight Unicode character.

       Unicode characters are (so far) 16-bit entities without any markup or
       structure. This class represents such an entity. It is lightweight, so
       it can be used everywhere. Most compilers treat it like a "short int".
       (In a few years it may be necessary to make QChar 32-bit when more than
       65536 Unicode code points have been defined and come into use.)

       QChar provides a full complement of testing/classification functions,
       converting to and from other formats, converting from composed to
       decomposed Unicode, and trying to compare and case-convert if you ask
       it to.

       The classification functions include functions like those in ctype.h,
       but operating on the full range of Unicode characters. They all return
       TRUE if the character is a certain type of character; otherwise they
       return FALSE. These classification functions are isNull() (returns TRUE
       if the character is U+0000), isPrint() (TRUE if the character is any
       sort of printable character, including whitespace), isPunct() (any sort
       of punctation), isMark() (Unicode Mark), isLetter (a letter),
       isNumber() (any sort of numeric character), isLetterOrNumber(), and
       isDigit() (decimal digits). All of these are wrappers around category()
       which return the Unicode-defined category of each character.

       QChar further provides direction(), which indicates the "natural"
       writing direction of this character. The joining() function indicates
       how the character joins with its neighbors (needed mostly for Arabic)
       and finally mirrored(), which indicates whether the character needs to
       be mirrored when it is printed in its" unnatural" writing direction.

       Composed Unicode characters (like å) can be converted to
       decomposed Unicode ("a" followed by "ring above") by using
       decomposition().

       In Unicode, comparison is not necessarily possible and case conversion
       is very difficult at best. Unicode, covering the" entire" world, also
       includes most of the world's case and sorting problems. Qt tries, but
       not very hard: operator==() and friends will do comparison based purely
       on the numeric Unicode value (code point) of the characters, and
       upper() and lower() will do case changes when the character has a well-
       defined upper/lower-case equivalent. There is no provision for locale-
       dependent case folding rules or comparison; these functions are meant
       to be fast so they can be used unambiguously in data structures. (See
       QString::localeAwareCompare() though.)

       The conversion functions include unicode() (to a scalar), latin1() (to
       scalar, but converts all non-Latin-1 characters to 0), row() (gives the
       Unicode row), cell() (gives the Unicode cell), digitValue() (gives the
       integer value of any of the numerous digit characters), and a host of
       constructors.

       More information can be found in the document About Unicode.

QChar::Category
       This enum maps the Unicode character categories.

       The following characters are normative in Unicode:

       QChar::Mark_NonSpacing - Unicode class name Mn

       QChar::Mark_SpacingCombining - Unicode class name Mc

       QChar::Mark_Enclosing - Unicode class name Me

       Constructs a QChar corresponding to ASCII/Latin-1 character c.

QChar::QChar ( uchar c, uchar r )
       Constructs a QChar for Unicode cell c in row r.

QChar::QChar ( const QChar & c )
       Constructs a copy of c. This is a deep copy, if such a lightweight
       object can be said to have deep copies.

QChar::QChar ( ushort rc )
       Constructs a QChar for the character with Unicode code point rc.

QChar::QChar ( short rc )

       Returns the cell (least significant byte) of the Unicode character.

unsigned char QChar::combiningClass () const
       Returns the combining class for the character as defined in the Unicode
       standard. This is mainly useful as a positioning hint for marks
       attached to a base character.

       The Qt text rendering engine uses this information to correctly
       position non spacing marks around a base character.

const QString & QChar::decomposition () const
       Warning: This function is not reentrant.</p>

       Decomposes a character into its parts. Returns QString::null if no
       decomposition exists.

Decomposition QChar::decompositionTag () const
       Returns the tag defining the composition of the character. Returns
       QChar::Single if no decomposition exists.

       Returns the numeric value of the digit, or -1 if the character is not a
       digit.

Direction QChar::direction () const
       Returns the character's direction.

       See also Direction.

bool QChar::isDigit () const
       Returns TRUE if the character is a decimal digit (Number_DecimalDigit);
       otherwise returns FALSE.

bool QChar::isLetter () const
       Returns TRUE if the character is a letter (Letter_* categories);
       otherwise returns FALSE.

bool QChar::isLetterOrNumber () const
       Returns TRUE if the character is a letter or number (Letter_* or
       Number_* categories); otherwise returns FALSE.

bool QChar::isMark () const
       Returns TRUE if the character is a mark (Mark_* categories); otherwise
       returns FALSE.

bool QChar::isNull () const
       Returns TRUE if the character is the Unicode character 0x0000 (ASCII
       NUL); otherwise returns FALSE.

bool QChar::isNumber () const
       Returns TRUE if the character is a number (of any sort - Number_*
       categories); otherwise returns FALSE.

       See also isDigit().

bool QChar::isPrint () const
       Returns TRUE if the character is a printable character; otherwise
       returns FALSE. This is any character not of category Cc or Cn.

       Note that this gives no indication of whether the character is
       available in a particular font.

bool QChar::isPunct () const
       Returns TRUE if the character is a punctuation mark (Punctuation_*
       categories); otherwise returns FALSE.

bool QChar::isSpace () const
       Returns TRUE if the character is a separator character (Separator_*
       categories); otherwise returns FALSE.

bool QChar::isSymbol () const
       Returns TRUE if the character is a symbol (Symbol_* categories);
       otherwise returns FALSE.

Joining QChar::joining () const
       Warning: This function is not supported (it may change to use Unicode
       character classes).

       Returns information about the joining properties of the character
       (needed for example, for Arabic).

char QChar::latin1 () const
       Returns the Latin-1 value of this character, or 0 if it cannot be
       represented in Latin-1.

QChar QChar::lower () const
       Returns the lowercase equivalent if the character is uppercase;
       otherwise returns the character itself.

bool QChar::mirrored () const
       Returns TRUE if the character is a mirrored character (one that should
       be reversed if the text direction is reversed); otherwise returns
       FALSE.

QChar QChar::mirroredChar () const
       Returns the mirrored character if this character is a mirrored
       character, otherwise returns the character itself.

bool QChar::networkOrdered () [static]
       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       Returns TRUE if this character is in network byte order (MSB first);
       otherwise returns FALSE. This is platform dependent.

QChar::operator char () const
       Returns the Latin-1 character equivalent to the QChar, or 0. This is
       mainly useful for non-internationalized software.

       See also unicode().

uchar QChar::row () const
       Returns the row (most significant byte) of the Unicode character.

ushort QChar::unicode () const
       Returns the numeric Unicode value equal to the QChar. Normally, you
       should use QChar objects as they are equivalent, but for some low-level
       tasks (e.g. indexing into an array of Unicode information), this
       function is useful.

ushort & QChar::unicode ()
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

       Returns a reference to the numeric Unicode value equal to the QChar.

QChar QChar::upper () const
       Returns the uppercase equivalent if the character is lowercase;
       otherwise returns the character itself.
